@tprophet The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) was signed into law by Ronald Reagan and requires hospitals to provide emergency care to undocumented immigrants, regardless of their immigration status or ability to pay. CMS does not require hospital staff to ask patients directly about their citizenship or immigration status. Kudos to this doctor for reminding people of that. He saved lives.
